Description
Digital Literacy and Internet Skills in the Certificate In Information Technology (CIT) builds the complete digital competence that modern study and work demand. The book opens with the foundations of digital literacy: what it is, its core components and why it matters in education, work and society. It then develops essential computer skills and file management, before progressing through the everyday productivity applications: word processing and digital documents, spreadsheets and data management, and presentation software combined with digital communication and collaboration tools. The final chapters turn to life online: how the internet and the world wide web work, browsing, searching and evaluating websites, internet safety, security and digital citizenship, and the emerging technologies, from mobile platforms to artificial intelligence, that are shaping the future digital workplace. Its eight chapters follow the unit’s lessons step by step, each with practical exercises, a global scope discussion and current advances in technology, preparing the learner to participate confidently, safely and responsibly in the digital world.
